Don't tell anyone that you've drawn two moose tags. There are a few people that don't like that. Good luck on the tag
Doesn't bother me, I'll tell everyone I can. There are too many times people draw tags and don't hunt, or at least give it a try. It looks like neither of the Parker Lake muzzy hunters even bothered to hunt last year.

You need to buy a lottery tag.

Wow!!! Congrats to your kid and hope his luck continues in the draws. Not knocking you or him, but seems the system is a little messed up. Plenty of other kids out there would love that tag and should have a shot at it before someone gets multiple tries. Like I said nothing at you, just the system. Congrats again and post pics.
The system is a draw. Just like a lottery or lightning strikes. Some people get lucky. Some people get lucky twice. Some people don't.

Yes, it is a draw, but how hard would it be to say only one youth tag for moose in your life. Youth tags are about opportunity, not somebody that has extreme luck at pulling tags. Like I said in my post nothing against the tag holder, but the system seems messed up.

Who cares about those people!!! Usually they have bad attitudes because they don't kill an animal every year...(mostly due to lazyness and internet hero stuff...) Good for the young man! Take advantage of this opportunity! And for the haters.......let'em hate!! hahahaha :tup:

I gotcha there. :tup:
Wow I will probably never draw a tag. We need to get rid of these youth tags it's ridicous. What a slap in the face your son draws moose two outta three years good for him but give me a break this is outta control. This is seriously bs.
:-\ feel better now? Why do we need to get rid of youth tags?

The only thing in this world that is fair is math. Am I the only one who thinks it messed up to have so many youth tags that some youths draw a moose tag 2 outta 3 years

I see your frustration, but this kid pulled of a one in a million chance. Likely to never happen again to another young hunter or adult for that matter.
Just like guys who pull a quality bull tag with say 15 points then draw the same tag the next year with one.
He got really really lucky. Imagine just for a second that you were in this young mans shoes. Would you feel the same way?

More anterless moose tags go to minority groups than to the vast majority. It's wrong plain and simple.youth are the future of this lifestyle. Heck id be just fine with all antlerless moose tags being for youth... :twocents: i like to see kids get excited about hunting and being successful!. Id rather help a kid with a cow moose tag than have the tag myself.

Also if for some reason you find yourself striking out on that tag, don't hesitate to reach out to the site.
I love seeing big dark moose in the snow :tup:

Rackattack,
I agree that even youths should only draw a youth tag O-I-L. But, I'm not about to let an opportunity pass for my kids. I doubt my youngest son will ever draw a youth moose tag, but that doesn't mean I'm going to keep my oldest boy from doing whatever he can to be successfull.

You do realize these tags were created for youth and not simply taken from a category that you draw from right?........Unbelievable!
Congrats to the lucky young man. :tup:
Post by: jrebel on June 17, 2015, 09:28:52 PM
If I had it my way every youth hunter would draw a quality tag before they become an adult (deer, elk, moose, goat, ect.). Nothing like getting the kiddos excited about a lifetime of hunting. They are the next generation of our sport and the only way our sport continues for our grandkids and great grandkids. :tup: :tup:

Nothing better than to have that time with him. I miss mine now that they are grown, but hope at least one of them will be able to join me on my Mica Peak antlerless hunt this year!
Happy for you both! :tup:

His 2013 moose hunt was very special for us. We decided to take his uncle Chris with us on the hunt because Chris had been on several moose hunts in Idaho, and also had tagged a moose in Canada for his high school graduation gift. We spent four weekends hunting with Chris, and didn't realize how blessed we were at the time. Just 5 months later Chris was killed by a drunk driver. Our family is still very devastated by our loss and Gavin and I very fortunate to have spent that time with Chris.

How incredibly sad that is. I am glad that you and your son got that time with him.

Good luck and as said before im more than happy to help, even if it is just as a pack mule.
I have been on three successful bull moose hunts but not a cow hunt yet.
